Nope, no incriminating messages from my end, but I will say, I was amazed how well ebay has treated me the last few times I called. In this case, the seller simply offered me a different amount and suggested I contact his email (sent his email using multiple messages, and "at" instead of @). I was not the one to open dialogue (simply had sent best offer), and didn't acknowledge via ebay. I did come clean to eBay though, telling them I'd been duped and had paid off line. They threatened no punitive action toward me but stated that he may be suspended. They now appear to have taken action with him. On a couple other separate matters relating to bid bucks, they've given me benefit of the doubt and provided me bid buck coupons. I know many gripe about ebay, but I was actually pretty happy with this/these outcomes, and and near 100% in transaction success rates. I've actually for the first time started to sell a bit also and been smooth sailing thus far (knock wood).
